The Blue Boar,
Leicester CAMRA Pub of the Year
2018 & 2019

Real ales currently on tap

You can’t be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline – it helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.Frank Zappa

Micro pub, big passion

We’re small but we have a big heart and passion in plenty. We love real ale, cider and fine wine and as all these things are for sharing with like-minded people what better way to do that than to open a pub? We also stock vegan and gluten-free beers. We are dog friendly too so don’t feel that you have to leave them behind!

Proper job ciders

He Looked and smelt like Autumn’s very brother, his face being sunburnt to wheat-colour, his eyes blue as corn-flowers, his sleeves and leggings dyed with fruit-stains, his hands clammy with the sweet juice of apples, his hat sprinkled with pips, and everywhere about him the sweet atmosphere of cider which at its first return each season has such an indescribable fascination for those who have been born and bred among the orchards.Thomas Hardy

Mango Cider
